Abstract
The aim of this article is to analyse the long political and military process of formingthe Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP). At the beginning it was the separatepillar of the European. For the European security issues was responsible the NATO and theWestern European Union. After almost twenty years the Lisbon Treaty on European Union,which entered into force on 1 December 2009, changed the competence of the EuropeanUnion in the security sphere. Treaty of Lisbon created the Common Security and DefencePolicy (CSDP) and for the first time put so much attention to European Union’s internationalactivity. Responsible for this is the High Representative of the Union for ForeignAffairs and Security Policy. For this function was appointed Catherine Ashton. She is assistedby the European External Action Service. HR is also one of the Vice-Presidents of theEuropean Commission, chairs the Foreign Affairs Council, contributes through proposalstowards the preparation of the CFSP and ensures implementation of the decisions adoptedby the European Council and the Council, especially in the security matters. Lisbon compromisealso led the termination of the Western European Union in 2011. Several prominentleadershave voiced support for a common defence for the Union. This possibility,requiring unanimous support among the member states, was formally laid down in Article42 the Treaty of Lisbon extended the enhanced co-operation provision to become availablefor application in the area of defence. This mechanism enables a minimum number ofmember states to deepen integration within the EUs institutional framework, without thenecessity of participation for reluctant member states.
